TRANSFERRING BLOOD.
Experiments Made with Animals
After DecapitatiOn.

On the 31st of January, Mr.. Hayem
read an interesting communication be-
fore the French Academy of Science
upon the effect of transferring the blood
of the horse into the head of animals
that have just been decapitated. He
finds, in the first place, that when the
head of dog is Suddenly severed from
the body, the eyes for some time execute
motions OF anxiety, the jaws forcibly
open and close, the eyes afterward be-
come fixed, the nostrils dialate, the
lablal commissures contract, and the
tongue contracts to the back of the
mouth. A few seconds later, few res
piratory efforts are remarked, and
phenomena, as whole, never last more
than two minutes.
1t, as soon as the decapitation has
been effected, the carotids are put IN
communication with the capital artery
of a hose, the vital manifestations are
observed to last for half an hour. Fin
ally, if the TRANSMISSION is not effected
until the head has become inert, the
various vital manifestations mentioned
above reappear, but definitely cease at
the end of few minutes.
Mr.. Hayem concludes that the ex
tinction of will and sensation is very
rapid, if not immediate. Conscious life
may, nevertheless, be prolonged for a
moment by TRANSMISSION, when the opera
ton is performed immediately after de-
capitation; but in the case of the recall
to life of an inert head, nothing but
automatic motions, without any trace OF
will, or consciousness even, can be per-
ceived.
Analogous experiments had already
been performed by the learned physio-
logist Brown-Sequard, who came to the
conclusion that the will returns to the
head of dog freshly severed from the
body. Since then, this opinion has been
submitted to no sort of verifcation. The
experiments of Mr.. Laborde with hu-
man heads that had been severed from
the body for over an hour we're per
formed under conditions where success
was an impossibility.- Aneri-

The Stomach Distils Acids.

These, if existent in a natural guam
tity, and unvitiated by bile, play their
part in the functions of digestion and
assimilation. But the artificial acid re-
sulting from the inability of the stom-
sch to convert food received by it into
austenance, is the producer Of fiatu-
lence and heartburn, which are the
most harrassing symptoms of dyspep-
STA. The best carminative is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Far more effec-
tive is it than carbonate of soda.
magnesia or other alkaline salts. These
invariably weaken the stomach, with
out producing permanent benefit. No
man or woman chronically dyspeptic,
and consequently nervous, can be in
possession OF the full measure of vigor
allowed by nature. Therefore, invigor-
ate and regulate the system, and by so
doing protect it from malaria, rheuma-
| .ism and other serious maiadies.

New YOrk's M0ngOlian Dead.

There are now over 5000 Cinnamon in
New York, says Wong Chin Foo in the
Sun. They support thirty-two general
Chinese supply stores, eight large res
taurants, five barber shops, four fashion
able tailors, six fortune tellers, nine
doctors and four well-tilled cemeteries at
Evergreens. One of these contains
at least 300 Cinnamon, all of whom died
within the past two years. The second
largest of the quartet is robably that
of the Lun Gee Tong Benevolent So
ciety. 1t contains about 200 dead. The
other two are comparatively new, and
have plenty of ro oms to let. In all, the
dead population of our New York
Cinnamon is estimated at about 600.
Thus far the mortality among the
Chinese here has been much greater
than that OF any other race among us.
The nine Chinese physicians attribute
this mortality to their peculiar diet, the
hard climate, and the nature Of the
work most of them are compelled to
follow, meaning the laundry and cigar
making business. Over Is per cent of
these deaths have been that of consulnp-
tion.
In the opinion of most Of these doc
tors half of the Chinese would have
been dead or dying were it not for the
reason that most of them eat American
food in place Of the expensive groceries
imported out OF China. 1t is also noted
that the majority OF the deaths during
the past year has been the floating popu-
lation of the Chinese colony who were
fond of living in the Chinese rcstau-
rants on Mott street, where is supplied
every variety of foods of Chinese origin
produced upon Chinese soil, AMI only
suitable for people living in that pecul-
lar climate. Living now in a harder
climate, they are advised by their ply
sicians to eat harder and more nutritious
food. Opium smoking in mild form
is likewise advocated as preventive to
the many dangers Of a strange climate,
as, with only about dozen exceptions,
the dead were all anti opium smokers.
The grayestones in the various Chi
nese cemeteries arc almost like the
Chinese themselves ''they all look
alike" None of them is more than two
feet high by one vile. Stuck at the
foot of each little mound large black
| firecracker letters are cut upon them,
indicating the name, age and birthplace
of each deceased, so that in future,
should friends wish and be able to have
their bones taken to China, they could
find them.

Enough Chinese to Invade the World.

A remark of the czar shows that he is
not ignorant of the Chinese question
merely as it relates to his own do
minions, but to the world at large. Tho
Russians were in the track of the Mongol
invasions under two great chieftains,
who desolated Europe, and It took hun
drels Of years for the Slav race to re-
cover the territory then taken from
them. He has carefully read this por-
ton OF his country's history. His re-
mark was to the effect that the greatest
danger to the western world existed in
the Chinese empire. 1t oaly needed au-
other Tamerlanc to set in motion another
invasion comprising perhaps 30, 600, 600
of the harder races of Northern China
to ovcrwhelm Europe, not by their mill
tary strength or skill, but by mere force
OF numbers. Ii 0,000, 900 were not
